BeerBoard

BeerBoard sells SmartBar, a beverage management platform for multi-location restaurants, bars and clubs that joins ordering, inventory, product setup, digital menus and reporting. Its higher tier adds physical flow meters on draft lines so pours can be compared with POS sales. The company also sells data and insights to beverage suppliers and distributors.
